This is where it gets a bit awkward Chris. I represent a Lotus business partner that offers a Domino based solution that we feel fills the hole that currently exists in the IBM/Lotus portfolio. We think we can keep the customer a Lotus customer. I see where other vendors place posts on forums that are clearly efforts to market their product. The bias is obvious. Rather than go down that road how about this...you and I hook up on a web meeting. I will show you what we have, then you can post your thoughts on this forum. I bet I can make you say wow! You game?

I am sorry...but migrating from DomDoc to Quickr is in most cases simply absurd! If all you needed was the type of functionality Quickr delivers, then you probably are not running DomDoc in the first place. You do not have to be a large enterprise to require EDMS capability. May SMB customers need version control, workflow, auditing, archiving, document review/retention...etc. For all its shortcomings, DomDoc had a lot of functionality. Most companies extended that with customization, expensive customization. Many smaller/mid size companies have DomDoc. Quickr is not an option because it does not do document mgt. Replacing the Domino infrastructure with Websphere and moving all the users to Filenet or ICM is too expensive. It does not matter if they get free credit for the licenses...that is not where the majority of the costs are. There is a gaping hole in the IBM software inventory now that DomDoc is gone. What customers are going to do is look outside of what IBM can offer. Why not. If they have to spend a ton of money...why would'nt they.
